Grant Plumbing Petone Match Programme - Saturday 21st April
2012 Lotto Central League Petone vs Miramar Rangers 2.45pm
Premier League
Petone vs Waterside Karori 1.00pm
Welcome... Welcome to Memorial Park for our first ‘Super Saturday’ of the season and in particular to the Miramar Rangers Central League and the Waterside Karori Premier League teams and officials. Our 2nd team have had a tough introduction to life in the Premier League and today will be no easier. Wharfies are always strong and will provide another big test for our youthful squad. I know Sambo has been working hard with the lads and discipline and hard work will be vital as we look to secure our first points of the season. Time to dig deep boys and show the football you’re capable of playing. Our 1st Team had a great start to their season with a 3-2 away win against Napier last Sunday, despite playing the final 30 minutes with 10 and then 9 men! Not ideal but there was plenty of character shown to accompany some good footie and quality goals. It was a good three points to pick up away from home (against last year’s 3rd place team and Chatham Cup finalists) and is something that should provide confidence and momentum. Although without Team Wellington players available as yet, Miramar will still be strong and our depth will be tested with two key players suspended. Fozzie will have the lads well drilled though and if we play with discipline and keep our structure we have a good chance to make it two wins from two. Women’s football is alive and well at Petone and congratulations to our 1st and 3rd teams who were both victorious last Sunday. This was the first win for each team in over a season and much deserved. There has been a lot of time and effort put in during the off season and pre-season periods and our women’s football committee is doing a great job. Well done to everyone and may the wins continue! Good luck to all Petone teams this weekend and all the best as well to Team Wellington in their 2nd leg semi-final against Auckland City. Remember to play hard but play fair. Craig Deadman Chairman, Petone Football Club

BEYOND EPL – (The Championship) As the season draws to a close, and the English Premier League title is virtually a done deal, attention focuses on the Championship playoffs. Interestingly the team finishing highest in the league outside of the automatic promotion spots, usually third, has only succeeded in winning promotion seven times out of twenty five seasons up to 2012, including four of the last six. There is no single sporting event in the world more valuable to the winners who end up approximately £85,000,000 better off than the losers, mainly due to the increased commercial television revenue from being promoted to the Premier League. However, by convention the two finalists agree that the loser will keep all the gate receipts from the final, so as to slightly soften the financial blow of missing out Ipswich Town have been in the Championship play-offs a record seven times: 1987, 1997–2000 inclusive, 2004, and 2005, making the final only once in 2000 (when they won promotion). 18 of the 24 teams playing in the N Power Championship have played in the Premiership or EPL since the league’s inception in 1992. The six that haven’t are: Brighton
Bristol City Cardiff Doncaster
Millwall
Peterborough

Coach’s Comments Welcome, finally, to the start of the 2012 Central League season. Welcome to all the new faces and the old ones back for another exciting year. It feels like it has taken an eternity to arrive. Our campaign has opened with a victory in Napier last week and that gives us something to build on early in the season. 2012 was always going to be a challenging one in many ways. The first challenge was how we were going to incorporate a new artificial pitch. Along with challenges come frustrations. Work on the surface was meant to have commenced last year and should have been almost completed by now. My personal opinion is that artificial surfaces certainly have their uses but would like to have seen the money spent developing this ground on a topclass sand-based pitch. Call me old fashioned but I just prefer the grass. Another challenge is recruitment /retention of players. We are lucky to have a very loyal bunch of players and that is something we shouldn’t take for granted. We have some very clear goals for not only our Central League team but also our Reserves, who gained promotion to the Premier League last season. Unfortunately their season has not got away to the start they would have liked. I know that Chris and the guys are working very hard in trying to turn this around. One of the goals for me, as always, is to win the title. There is no point entering if you don’t have this ambition. Then I look at my role and see where am I going with being a Central League coach - and of course you have your own personal goals/growth you wish to achieve. You pass on the knowledge you have and try to push the players to be the best they can be, this then hopefully results in them playing for an NZFC franchise. I would then see that coach trying to further the player’s career to the next step. This is something that today’s opponents do very well, demonstrated by the number of player’s they have missing this week due to Team Wellington duties. I welcome last year’s champions Miramar Rangers to Memorial Park for their first league game. We know it will be a very tough encounter. Last year saw us have two very entertaining games, ending up a win a-piece. So sit back enjoy and remember everyone is a critic, I look forward to hearing your views in the clubhouse after the game.

The Visitors: Waterside Karori Waterside Karori AFC is Wellington’s largest football clubs. It was formed from the merger of two famous Wellington soccer clubs - Karori Swifts and Waterside. Swifts The Wellington Swifts were formed in 1894. The Swifts football club were a nomadic bunch with no roots to any one district, wandering all over Wellington before moving to Karori in the 1950’s. The Swifts won the Venus Shield seven times before the First World War. The Wellington Swifts changed their name to Karori Swifts in the late 1960’s, giving them an identity with the suburb. Waterside Waterside were formed in 1921, During the late thirties and early forties, they had success in winning the Chatham Cup four times. Watersides’ early success was mainly due to the Port of Wellington employing many British workers, who were crazy about football. In 1951 disaster hit the club. There was a waterfront dispute which lasted 151 days and only five players returned from that industrially-ravaged season to play in 1952. In 1965, land was leased from the city council at Kaiwharawhara and clubrooms erected. In 1978 the club changed its name to Columbus Waterside in appreciation of the major sponsorship received from the Columbus Shipping Line. The Merger By the mid 1980’s, Waterside was a wealthy club and was experiencing success in the top men’s leagues. Karori Swifts strength was in its size. Karori had 10 men’s teams, 2 women’s teams and 40 junior teams, but it lacked success at the higher levels. The merger took place in 1987, forming Waterside Karori AFC. The first men’s team spent two years in the National League but with relegation, a few top players were lost, and so was the Columbus sponsorship. Waterside Karori AFC The club currently has 19 men’s teams, 2 women’s teams, 2 U-17 youth teams, and over 700 junior members.

22 Kings Cres, Lower Hutt
Life Member: Jack Capstick Jack Capstick, whose sports playing interests had been in cricket and rugby, became actively involved with the Club in 1962 when, with his three sons playing, he joined the junior management committee. In that first year he managed the junior 4th (under 14) team and was also appointed a Hutt Valley selector. In the mid 1960s, he coached/managed a team on Saturday mornings and then another in the afternoons. These commitments coupled with mid-week practices and his meticulous communication with boys’ parents amounted to quite an involvement. But he added to these, and to his Committee responsibilities, by accepting the role of publicity officer – tasked with writing lengthy junior match day reports for the weekly Petone Chronicle. From 1965, Jack was also appointed to be one of the Junior Management Committee’s representatives on the Hutt Valley Football Association. This was to be the pattern of Jack’s service to the club. He served for many years on the Junior Management Committee, fulfilling a variety of roles, and in all of these he demonstrated absolute thoroughness in making the arrangements for which he was responsible. As his sons gradually moved on to senior football, Jack widened his horizons to managing the senior third team and serving as Junior Management Committee representative on the Club’s management committee, all while continuing to manage/coach a junior side. Implicit in the coaching roles was the sharing of refereeing duties, and Jack took this on for both morning and afternoon games. In 1975, after 13 years of immersion in Club business, Jack was elected as President, the first to hold the position having come solely from the club’s junior administrative ranks. He was our President for eight years, and during his tenure, in 1980, he was elected as a Life Member of the club in acknowledgement of his very substantial contribution and tremendous commitment over the previous eighteen years. In 1982, he was one of twelve Wellington football administrators (three in all from our Club) to be awarded the Boyden Silver Badge in recognition of 20 years’ dedicated service to Club football. Jack’s involvement with the club had started later in life than for most, but the intensity of his efforts was appreciated by many but equalled by few. Jack passed away in December 1993. In his memory, the Capstick family donated the Jack Capstick Memorial Trophy which is awarded annually to the outstanding player in our Third Team. John Bradbury
